Former Man United midfielder Anderson has criticised the way the club is being run

Former Manchester United player Anderson has criticised the current management and how the club is being run.

In an interview with Globo Esporte, he stated that there is something wrong at Old Trafford.

“Nowadays, small clubs go to play at Old Trafford, and are not afraid. Today, the club doesn’t know which manager it will have, who controls it. It’s a mess”.

The Brazilian was criticising home losses, including the humiliating 0-3 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford in December and the 0-1 loss to Crystal Palace.

Anderson also mentioned what is wrong with the club’s transfer strategy.

“Manchester United sometimes buy very badly. If you’re going to pay €100m for a player, pay for Neymar”.

“A player who will make a difference. Manchester United pay €70m, €80m, €90m for players who have no logic. I think the club’s desperation is so great that anyone will do”.

Anderson didn’t name Antony but it looks like he was referencing him there. He also defended his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

“When Cristiano came back… man, it’s Cristiano Ronaldo. Protect him. Today, he has 50 goals. ‘Ah, but it’s Saudi Arabia’, but he has 50 goals. Out of three chances, he’ll score two. That’s a fact, and anyone who plays against him is afraid”.

“Today, nobody is afraid to play against Manchester United. They know United are taking beating after beating. Ronaldo arrived at a time when Manchester was building and they said: ‘Get on with it’, and he scored 25 goals. And then he left. There’s something wrong.”
